346. Mustang - Leaving Cert 2023 (#---)

Summary: Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney and Conor Murphy, this week with special guest Natasha Waugh, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT. This September, we are running a season looking at the films on the Irish Leaving Cert English Curriculum. So this week, Deniz Gamze Ergüven's Mustang. In a remote Turkish village along the Black Sea, five young sisters find themselves locked inside the family house. Destined to be married off one-at-a-time, the five girls struggle to hold on to their humanity and their spirit in the face of soul-crushing oppression. Can they escape this captivity and can they emerge with their selves truly intact? At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
